The 2014 New York Giants season was the franchise's 90th season in the National Football League, the fifth playing their home games at MetLife Stadium and the eleventh under head coach Tom Coughlin. The team failed to improve on their 7–9 mark from 2013, finishing 6–10.
To commemorate their ninetieth anniversary, the Giants wore a special patch on their jerseys. In addition, the team wore white pants instead of gray for two home games versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9 on Monday Night Football and two weeks later against the San Francisco 49ers.[1] With their loss to the Jaguars on November 30, 2014, the Giants sealed their second consecutive losing season.

This was the first Sunday Night Football game held in MetLife Stadium following a one-season absence.
With the loss, the Giants fell to 3-8, and were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention after the Lions defeated the Bears on Thanksgiving four days later. This game, however, is best known for an acrobatic one-handed catch by Odell Beckham Jr. early in the 2nd quarter that would go down as one of the greatest catches in NFL history. A penalty marker flew as he made the catch - for pass interference on Brandon Carr, who had been covering Beckham on that play.

Beckham also topped 1,000 yards receiving for the season. In both cases, it should be noted that this was achieved despite Beckham missing the first four games of the season.
